The group of nationalist youths who organised the demonstration against Dr. Drummond Shiels, the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, when he visited Tel Aviv, has issued a proclamation against Dr.Weizmann, denouncing him as Mr. Ramsay MacDonald’s satellite, who dares to come to Palestine when Mr. Jabotinsky is not allowed to enter the country. Dr. Weizmann is in Palestine for the purpose of selling the Zionist ideal to the Arabs, as he has already sold it to Britain, the manifesto says.
Denouncing Dr. Weizmann as a supporter of British Imperialism in the East, Dr. Wolfgang von Weisl, the Revisionist leader in Palestine, who arrived here to-day, says that he will disclose at a meeting which he is addressing to-night, a secret intrigue in which Britain is engaged in the East with the support of Dr. Weizmann.
The Egyptian Revisionists during Dr. Weizmann’s recent stay in Egypt on his way to Palestine, also issued a manifesto in which they declared Dr. Weizmann to be a British agent.
Egyptian Jewry is much concerned over the possible effects of propaganda conducted by Jews in the Arabic countries, associating the name of prominent Jews like Dr. Weizmann with supposed British designs in the East.
On enquiry at the offices of the Central Committee of the Revisionist World Organisation in London, the J.T.A. is informed that the Revisionist headquarters have no knowledge of such propaganda by Dr.Von Weisl and the Egyptian Revisionists.
The Grand Mufti has left for Egypt on a political mission, it is believed, probably aiming at an extension of the anti-Jewish boycott-movement proclaimed this week by the Palestine Arab Executive.
